In most states a 3rd DUI is charged as a felony, and convicted felons can't legally possess firearms.. With your history, I'd save the money for legal bills and snacks from the jail commissary.

If the DUIs were not felonies, then you are OK. However, if one of them was a felony, it is against the law to even hold a gun in your hand. You can even have ammo in your possession.

If they weren't felonies, however, I sure would not like to be around you while you are in a black-out!

if you have 2 dwi's, i dont think you need a gun, you need to quit drinking. if you were stupid enough to drive drunk, what would you do drunk with a gun......

is the 2nd one a felony?

yes, because DUI's are misdemeanors, not felonies.
